Hi lovelies! So to kickstart my blog, I thought I would tell you guys about some of the products that i have used up and repurchased several times because I think they are just that good! The term Holy Grail, or HG is meant to represent such a product...one that has been sought after for a long time, and when you find it it's almost like the heavens have opened and bestowed it upon you!
I won't have HG's for every category...still on the lookout for that perfect foundation, for instance. But I thought I'd share what I do have, because these products work for me and are definitely something I would recommend if you have the same or similar concerns.
To start off: my HG moisturizer. This is something that I have used for years, is relatively inexpensive and a great all-around product. It is the Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion with SPF 30. You can find it at your local drugstore for around $10 (prices vary by location) for 4 fl. oz. One bottle lasts a good year or so for me, so it really is a great buy for such an amazing product!
What I love about it: The product is dispensed out of a lovely pump with a cap, which makes it hygienic compared to little tubs you dip your fingers into. I generally need slightly more than a pea size for my whole face and neck--the tiniest pump will do. The product itself is lightweight but not insubstantial, and provides the right amount of moisture without leaving me feeling oily or too dry. It absorbs super quickly, and I don't need to work too hard to get it to sink into my skin. I don't feel like it needs time to "set" before I put my makeup on. My skin is combination, which can be a tricky issue for a moisturizer, but this one seems to balance me out and provide the right amount of moisture to both my dry and oily areas. I know some people swear by the comparable Aveeno moisturizer, but that doesn't even come close to this product for me. It's too greasy, doesn't sink in very fast and leaves me feeling dewy no matter how long I wait. The Eucerin moisturizer, in contrast, makes my skin feel like skin, but better.
There it is! Let me know if you've tried this product and what you think about it. More HG product reviews will be coming in the near future!
